CLI Guide

● illegal: Sends a reply that there is a LUN but that the request is “illegal.” Sense data returned
is sensekey = 5, code = 25h, qualifier = 0. If the system is used in a VMware environment, use this
option.
partner-firmware-upgrade enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional. Sets whether component firmware versions are monitored and will be automatically updated
on the partner controller.
● disabled or off: Partner firmware upgrade is disabled.
● enabled or on: Partner firmware upgrade is enabled. This is the default.
partner-notify enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional. Sets whether to notify the partner controller that a trigger condition occurred. Enable this
option to have the partner also change to write-through mode for better data protection. Disable this
option to allow the partner to continue using its current caching mode for better performance.

power-supply-failure enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional. Sets whether the cache policy automatically changes to write-through when a power supply
fails.
● disabled or off:The power-supply failure trigger is disabled. This is the default.
● enabled or on:The power-supply failure trigger is enabled.
restart-on-capi-fail enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional. Sets whether a Storage Controller that experiences a CAPI hang will be forced to restart.
This is disabled by default. A CAPI hang is perceived as a management-interface hang. As part of the
restart process, a dump file is created and event 107 is logged. To provide the dump file to technical
support for debugging, use the Save Logs action in the PowerVault Manager.
single-controller
For use by a service technician only.
Optional. For a system that lacks a second controller module for redundancy and is intended to
be used as a single-controller system, this parameter changes the operating/redundancy mode to
Single Controller. This prevents the system from reporting the absent partner controller as an error
condition. This parameter does not affect any other system settings. Installing a second, functional
controller module will change the mode to Active-Active ULP.
smart enabled|disabled|on|off|detect-only
Optional. Enables or disables SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) monitoring
for all disks in the storage system. When SMART is enabled, the system checks for SMART events
one minute after a restart and every five minutes thereafter. SMART events are recorded in the
event log.
● disabled or off:Disables SMART for all disks in the system and for all disks added to the
system.
● enabled or on:Enables SMART for all disks in the system and for all disks added to the system.
This is the default.
● detect-only: Detects but does not change the SMART setting of each disk in the system, and
for each new disk added to the system.
spin-down enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional. Sets whether spinning disks that are available or are global spares will spin down after a
period of inactivity shown by the spin-down-delay parameter.
● disabled or off:Drive spin down for available disks and global spares is disabled. This is the
default. Disabling spin down will set the spin-down delay to 0.
● enabled or on:Drive spin down for available disks and global spares is enabled. If the spin-down-
delay parameter is not specified, the delay will be set to 60 minutes.
